Default What Should I Do With These HRE Wheels?

I'm not crazy about the colour of the centers and I want to powder coat or paint them. I'm thinking of going to shiny silver but I'm open to suggestions.

Call me crazy, but I like them with the yellow. Even my wife likes them, and she's super picky when it comes to wheels.

They just pick up all the right black parts on the car, front and rear fender intakes, etc, and even out the large area of the windows, giving the car more balance top to bottom. Silver will not really enhance anything on the car IMHO, and will stand out too much on their own.

Change to yellow or black lugnuts and paint the lips yellow. Leave the centers black.

I'm a middle age and balding, so I'm not sure that would be for me. I really like the look of the GT3 wheels, but they are pretty pricey.



Here's a better picture of the HRE wheel.

The GT3 wheels are nice for sure.

Here are a couple of options...

I changed the colour to shadow chrome. I think it looks better.

Looks good Robert, not quite black, not quite silver. Good overall balance.

They look a little lighter in person. I also bought a set of GT3 wheels, but I think I'll sell them now.

I liked them in black, but I love them in your dark gray (shadow chrome) color!

I still have them. They are listed in another forum, but since I'm from Canada shipping is really expensive. I just ordered a set of 18" tires and I'm either going to put them on the stock wheels or my GT3 wheels. I want to make it ride better. I have the X73 suspension, that that doesn't help the ride either.
